Mitsubishi A7M1 "Ninjin"

A7M2 "Mizusashi"



Act. 1: Fold wings
Act. 2: Start engine/cowling flaps (FT thanks to vcharng)
Act. 3: Nothing
Act. 4: Lights
Act. 5: Arrestor hook

The Mitsubishi A7M was a proposed successor to the A6M Zero. Only two A7M1s and 8 A7M2s were built, the difference being solely in engine power. The 2200 hp engine on the A7M2 was found to be sufficient to execute carrier operations successfully, though it could have been done with the A7M1. The reason this aircraft was nicknamed "?? (Ninjin)", or Carrot, by me was because I thought it looked like a carrot when I was building it (hence the teaser). Inscribed on the tail is the Japanese script seen above. Top speed in level flight at sea level is approximately 350mph, and it can easily navigate the Wright trenches.

    I'd like to see the wings cleaned up. I get that they are the way they are because of the livery but I prefer a good airframe over a good livery. all around a great plane though.

    Looks really nice and it flies great. I also love the folding wings. However there are some places on the wings where you could've used fuselage pieces instead of inlets to prevent weird shading effects on the wings.
